West Columbia: I-26 W @ MM 108.8
West Columbia combines a riverfront setting with the traffic of a major interstate corridor in a way that reflects its position beside the Congaree River and South Carolina’s capital. Across the river, Columbia’s downtown skyline marks the state’s political and commercial centre, while West Columbia has its own older core along State Street. The New Brookland Historic District preserves the character of the community’s early commercial and residential development. The Riverwalk follows the Congaree’s west bank, and the Gervais Street Bridge connects West Columbia to Columbia. I-26 crosses this urban area as a principal east–west route through central South Carolina, linking its riverfront neighbourhoods with the wider Midlands.

West Columbia is best known within South Carolina for its position on the Congaree River, directly opposite the state capital, Columbia. Riverwalk Park follows the riverbank, and the Gervais Street Bridge links the city with Columbia’s downtown across the water. Incorporated as New Brookland in 1894, West Columbia adopted its current name in 1936; the New Brookland Historic District preserves part of that earlier identity. State Street adds restaurants, small businesses and local arts to a compact urban center shaped by the river and its larger neighbour.

Among the regions of the United States, South Carolina stands out for its sweep from the Atlantic coast and tidal Lowcountry to the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Its shoreline combines barrier islands, salt marshes and estuaries, with Charleston long established as one of the country’s important Atlantic port cities. Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, is where the American Civil War began in 1861. Farther inland, Congaree National Park protects a notable expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest, while Columbia serves as the state capital.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
